<p>Check my main page discussion for the rig report from 3/27. I'll post an updated one next Friday. Most of the news regarding the decreasing rig count is for oily basins although the last report did show a meaningful drop for Haynesville directed rigs in E TX.</p>

What’s the rig count in the LA portion of the HS? How many rigs are we expected to lose because of the plummeting gas prices?? Skip, Jay, Henry?? Thoughts?

<p>I think both the Saudis and the Russians are desirous of higher crude prices. The best way for them to accomplish that long term is to kill off the US oil zombies. It's mostly a supply vs demand question however both countries want to guard their market share also.</p>

I read a news article that said the U.S. was reaching out to the Saudis and asking them to cutback their release of oil due to our national emergency. I assume the same type of diplomacy is also going out to the Russian oligarchs. Being a betting man that's won my share of friendly poker games, I'd put my money on the Saudis turning down their spigots. And, of course, Russia might also kiss up, too. It's not the new normal.

<p>The zombie companies existed pre-virus and pre-oil price war. Of the mid-majors (independents) there are only about a dozen that deserve to survive. The rest need to go, the sooner the better for the industry. Short of bankruptcy or a merger, the zombie independents will continue the ridiculous supply glut which is weighing on the profitability of all O&G companies, even the majors and super-majors.

<p>The zombie companies existed pre-virus and pre-oil price war. Of the mid-majors (independents) there are only about a dozen that deserve to survive. The rest need to go, the sooner the better for the industry. Short of bankruptcy or a merger, the zombie independents will continue the ridiculous supply glut which is weighing on the profitability of all O&G companies, even the majors and super-majors. The zombies have under performed for so long that even private equity will not lend to them anymore. The credit markets are closed and no one needs to "bailout" the walking dead. I have no sympathy for the c-suite managers of those companies, only for their employees. </p>

<p>I saw Scott Sheffield on CNBC's Fast Money yesterday. He is the president of Pioneer Natural Resources, one of the best run of the independents. He painted an incredibly bleak forecast for the independents. Aside from Russia and Saudi Arabia, he called out the majors, especially XOM as major threats (no pun intenede) to the independents.

<p>I saw Scott Sheffield on CNBC's Fast Money yesterday. He is the president of Pioneer Natural Resources, one of the best run of the independents. He painted an incredibly bleak forecast for the independents. Aside from Russia and Saudi Arabia, he called out the majors, especially XOM as major threats (no pun intenede) to the independents. I guess XOM is waiting to pick up acreage as these companies go bankrupt? His said there are currently something like 75 independents today. If nothing changes, he says that by the end of 2021, only about 10 will be viable. The remainders will be zombie companies - companies whose debt is too high to merge with anyone. He said (his words, not mine) that they will all be like Chesapeake. Ouch. This was an eye opener for me.</p>

<p>Rigs represented in the weekly rig report are rigging up, drilling ahead, running logs, taking cores, setting casing or waiting on orders. None are stacked or not involved with some element of drilling a well. The report is generated not by the operating company but by the drilling contractor as a means to give driving directions to the rig site for delivery of materials and services.

The report is generated not by the operating company but by the drilling contractor as a means to give driving directions to the rig site for delivery of materials and services. When a rig contract expires or is cancelled, the rig goes to a yard to be stacked until a new contract comes along. It doesn't stay on the well pad.</p>
